On Tuesday afternoon (15), Uruguayan De Arrascaeta gave a press conference at Ninho do Urubu. Among other topics, the red-black midfielder spoke about FIFA's nomination to compete for the Puskas award for the most beautiful goal of the year. Check out some excerpts:

Play a little further back
"We have to adapt to different roles on the field. I told Rogério that I was feeling good, we were controlling the game (against Santos) well, and I didn't have much of a problem playing deep."

Puskas Award
"It's a great pleasure to be among the most beautiful goals of the year again. These are goals that just happen naturally. It's an honor to be nominated for such an important award. The three goals were spectacular, and everyone loved them."

Pedro and Gabigol
"They're both natural goal scorers, always in the box. Pedro is more of a reference number nine, while Gabi is more mobile. We have to be with them."

Free kick goals
"We're practicing free kicks a lot, but we don't have to think about it, that we need to do it. It will come at the right time, and we're working to make it happen in games."

Difference in positioning
"Dome and Rogério have different playing styles, which we need to adapt to. We feel it, we get a little tired. But this week has been very productive for us. Ceni is a very important guy; he knows how to manage the locker room."
